Scrumptious chicken curry

Cooking for me is all about herbs and spices. I own billions of them and they make our cupboards look a mess (although the new cupboard hasn’t been erected it yet – it is currently a pile!)

J gets frustrated because I insist on not labelling the glass jars so I can learn to distinguish them all by sight and keeping the refill elsewhere (not currently in action). This is our very favourite curry recipe and it champions two humble herbs; cardamon and turmeric. It is truly scrumptious.

Cardamon

This recipe is for a mild curry but just add more chilli if you like it spicier – like Winston and I.

Serve with brown rice and a side salad. I often grate in a carrot and some courgette into the curry mix just to add some extra vits.

Lovely jubbly!
